Here are some early thoughts on this third-party keyboard. Keep in mind I’ve used it a total of one or two hours tops.
I definitely love it for the “eye candy” aspect. It has some decent built-in themes and it lets you make new ones with ease. I love spectrums so I used a photo of one to make the following custom keyboard. It was a piece of cake:
As you’re creating your theme, you get fine-grain control over the color of the letters of the keys:
If you’ve typed out an entire pagraph and have to go back, the delete-backspace key gets the job done quite quickly. More quickly than the stock keyboard, although I haven’t run any kind of scientific test to verify this.
As far as function, though, I found that many typos went unchecked. My typing accuracy (or rather, the accuracy of the algorithms which keep my typing output accurate even when my actual typing isn’t) suffered considerably. I was typing some text to a friend and I got frustrated at the number of typos that went unchecked so I had to switch back to the stock keyboard to complete what I was typing more efficiently.
I would like to see even more customization options. Why not allow customization of the key-click sound? What if, instead of actual key “clicks," I want to hear a cat’s meow every time a type a letter? Not the same exact meow each time, mind you—I’d like to get different meows with each keystroke, randomly selected. Maybe an angry meow from a cat with a deep voice at times, and a happy meow from a cat with a high-pitched voice others. Also, throw in a cat hissing every once in a while.
